Shielding expertise AXON’ offers shielded flat cables with aluminium tape. The company is able to ground one or several conductors to the shield (same voltage level and EMI performance). Measurement of the shield resistance To characterize the shielding of flat or round cables, AXON’ uses the “Transfer Impedance ZT” parameters, expressed in ohms/m. As this notion depends on the type of product, rather than on the application, it is better suited to accurately characterize shielding performance than the alternative notion of “shielding efficiency”, given in dB. The connection between the cable...
